Jomres is the first and most complete online booking toolkit for Joomla.

We've been in this business for 14 years, focussing on just the one product to make it the absolute best in it's class. Our competitors copy our features, but we do it first and we do it best.

Actively developed, in 2018 alone we released 11 new versions.

The Core system is free, if you want a simple booking or reservation system for your hotel or villa website then the free core system is all you need to get up and running. If you decide you want to add functionality later on then you can upgrade your Jomres membership which allows you to install any of the 160+ plugins available through the easy to use Jomres Plugin Manager. We also support third party developers, who offer 80+ plugins of their own.

There's no need to buy a plugin for managing multiple properties, as the multi-vendor functionality is built right into the free Core of Jomres.

Works on both Joomla and Wordpress, so if you want to switch from one system to another you can do so easily as the basic structure is exactly the same.

What's new in the free core?

Room surcharges A new feature where property managers can add specific extra costs to a room, meaning that they and/or site managers don't need to create a specific room type for that room just for edge case rooms.

Custom invoice numbers Create custom invoice numbers, including formatted numbers like NNN/DATE. These invoice numbers are unique to each property, meaning that properties can easily have consequtive invoice number if required by their local tax authorities.

Frontend Guests can semi-anonymise their names when leaving reviews

Frontend Managers can leave review replies.

Frontend editing of room types by property managers.

GDPR functionality Built-in functionality that provides various features required by the GDPR to ensure compliance.

Integrated tutorial videos Built-in, context sensitive videos show you how to do things such as install plugins and configure prices.

Dynamic widgets in the property manager's dashboard. Individual property managers can decide which widgets they can see in their dashboard.

Guest Blacklisting Individual properties can blacklist guests, which prevents them from making bookings. Guests can still use the contact form, which gives the propèrty manager the option to reach compromises with the blacklisted guests if required.

Room descriptions Do you offer boutique properties? Showcase individual rooms, with slideshow images and full descriptions.

Webhook and REST API built-in Create your own REST API plugins or use ours. Full documentation available in the online manual.

Property Completion monitoring If the property approvals feature is enabled, once the manager has followed the guided setup then site admins can see that it has been completed and is ready for review before approval.

All of this is free!

We listen to our users. The property manager's User Interface has been designed after consulting with real property managers to provide the most logical User eXperience possible.
